    Publications

    • Teaching Information Fluency: How to Teach Students to Be Efficient, Ethical, and Critical Information Consumers

      Scarecrow Press ISBN-10: 0810890623 | ISBN-13: 978-0810890626

      Teaching Information Fluency describes the skills and dispositions of information fluency adept searchers. Readers will receive in-depth information on what it takes to locate, evaluate, and ethically use digital information. The book realistically examines the abilities of Internet searchers today in terms of their efficiency and effectiveness in finding online information, evaluating it and using it ethically. Since the majority of people develop these skills on their own, rather than being taught, the strategies they invent may suffice for simple searches, but for more complex tasks, such as those required by academic and professional work, the average person’s performance is adequate only about 50% of the time.
